*****
Mike frowned!“But...but I... Liza.” Mike was short of words so he stopped to take a calm breath to control himself.
‘Honestly, he feels like strangling Liza right now, like what is she trying to do to him? Give him heart attack?’ Mike thought in a mental groan of frustration.“There is no Liza about it darling. Did you or did you not sack me yesterday?”Raising his head so fast he almost had a headache, Mike stared into Liza’s eyes and when he saw the mischievous smile dancing in her eyes, he gave a deep groan. Holy cow!“Aha Liza darling, but I already apologised and I also told you I meant none of those words. It was just to stop you from thinking about anything but your health and how to get better.” He explained softly.“Hmm Liza darling, but I already apoRelated chapters

Doctors are God'S gifts to human… ***** The following day, Mike was having lunch with Liza in the privacy of their room when the doctor came in to check on Liza.Moving to the window so as to give them the needed privacy, Mike nevertheless listened as the doctor professionally asked Liza some questions.‘How’s she feeling? Does her head hurt? Any lingering headache or body pain?’Unable to pretend a non interest in her welfare, Mike turned to both the doctor and Liza. Watching the look on Liza’s face, Mike waited with bated breath to hear the answers she would give to those questions which the doctor asked.Seeing the tensed look on Mike’s face, Liza smiled and told the doctor she was fine. Except for slight headache when she did too much, she was feeling better every day, there was nothing to worry about, she assured the doctor.To every soul in the room, from the look the young lady

A word of thanks is a magic word…****** Receiving and understanding the deep message the doctor just passed to her, Liza grew whiter in the face and then, as if she was fighting an unseen battle, she braced her shoulder before lifting her eyes to the doctor. Then she gave a smile so beautiful that not only Mike but also the doctor was amazed.‘What a super smile this woman got packed in her small body!’ They all thought in wonder.“You are right doctor, what should be important to me at the moment is my health, how to get better and back on my feet. And most importantly, how to appreciate the good friends I have around me by staying strong.”Liza told the doctor with a smile but they all knew by friends, she was really talking about the man beside her since she has no other friend.“Good! I am very glad to hear that. Please, continue your interrupted lunch while I excuse myself.” The doctor nodded while mo

An arrogant man will always dislike pomposity in others…*****Entering the manager’s tiny hole of an office without a knock, Tom noticed the man was not surprised to see him.Probably, because the manager was also a loser, he could recognise fellow losers whenever he saw them.Frowning in deep anger and distaste, Tom coldly told the man he would take the job.But when the scrawny man responded with “of course” in that croaky voice of his, Tom almost rammed his hand down his throat. To hell with the job!But remembering he had nowhere to sleep, he gave a short nod while moving outside to sit and wait.Hell! This is definitely going to be a long period in his life. And why? Because he’s a selfish son of a devil who couldn’t love and cherish the good woman the good Lord gave him.For the first time in a long while,

Observative people are dangerous… ****** “Don’t you think this is nice?” She asked with a contented smile as she closed her eyes to inhale the fragrance in the air.“Very nice.” Mike responded, even though his eyes were more on Liza than the garden.“Hmm.” Even though Liza’s eyes were closed, she knew Mike was not looking at the garden because she could feel that tingling effect on her face and body which meant Mike’s intense gaze was centred on her. Again!“The garden, Mike. Concentrate on the garden and stop being romantic.” Liza told him with a smile.“Ouch, that hurts.” Mike told her in mock frown even though he was trying not to laugh.“You will survive it. You are Mike Stanford.”“Yes but even Mike Stanford has feelings you know.” Mike told her quietly after remembering that long time ago she told her god forsaking boyfriend, Tom, that she could never date her boss

Desire is like a raging fire…*****Deciding it’s time they move on so Liza can stretch her limps and see more of the hospital, Mike slowly got up from the garden stool and grabbing Liza, he pulled her to his body.Holding unto Mike’s hand to keep from falling as he pulled her up, Liza placed her palm on his chest in a quick move so as to balance her weight but at the same time Mike moved to steady her with his body and before Liza knew what was happening, they were standing together, chest to chest and thighs to thighs.Raising her head up in an unconscious look of passion, Liza breathtakingly gazed straight into Mike’s eyes, and seeing the flushed smoky look in Mike’s eyes, Liza involuntarily wet her dry lips with her tongue.But unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, that action was like throwing fuel into fire because immediately Mike saw that

A Master is always a calculator…******Seeing that there was sense in Liza’s request, Suzanne agreed while Mike watched helplessly in frustration.Unable to disagree with Liza, Mike grew tensed, wondering what to do. Knowing the best thing was to stay in the room with them so as to monitor Suzanne and censor her words while he placed order for their lunch, he also knew that would not be easy.He could not be coughing and interrupting every time Suzanne opened her mouth. For a smart woman like Liza, she would definitely know something was wrong and that would not be a good thing.‘Oh dammit, why can’t she stay in her house? Or better still, why didn’t she call before coming? Fuck unreasonable neighbours, dammit!’ Mike thought in disgust.Seeing that the two women were waiting for his agreement, Mike gave a grim smile and nodded.Walking leisurely

A brain is an intelligent machine… ***** Seeing that Suzanne was watching her, Liza quickly turned off her thought and gave a slight chuckle.“Beat a thief? Aha let’s be glad you did not see them then. It would not be funny to have both of us in the hospital with a battered body.” Liza told her with a smile and Suzanne laughed.When Mike entered the room, he saw the two women laughing and immediately he felt a relief in his chest. What he was expecting he really did not know but he had walked into the room with a readiness to do anything he had to do to protect his woman.‘God really loves Suzanne’ He thought just as his eyes met hers across the room. Intercepting the angry look in her eyes, Mike ignored her to smile at Liza.He knew he had been harsh on her in his rush to protect his woman, but he was not sorry.A man has got to do what he has to do to protect his own. It’s an Alpha’s rule

A man can be a fool for a woman he loves… ****** Moving to the side table to pick up their lunch meal, Mike took the tray to Liza’s side but when he looked up and intercepted the look in her eyes, he almost dropped the plate.‘Does Liza want to have lunch or she is hungry for something else?’ Mike wondered as he gave a small cough before noisily clearing his throat.“Lunch Liza?” He prompted.“Oh yes, lunch.” She answered but it was obvious Liza was hungrier for something else.Pretending not to see the peeking glance she was giving him from time to time as she forked a bite of cold salad into her mouth, Mike tried to concentrate on his food. Despite the fact that he was already hard down there and his pant was hurting as hell.Staring up at Mike, Liza licked her soft lips with a pink tongue while looking deep into his eyes with smokey grey eyes.“Oh dammit!” Unable to control

A good ending for all… ****** Two weeks Later, Mike sent a bunch of flowers to Tom’s room at the hospital, having heard he was responding to treatment and would soon be discharged. He had also heard that with the help of his father’s team, his father was flown to London to be with his son at his critical moment. Mike felt for them but he knew they would get through it and survive together. That’s just life! It will throw you but if you are willing to stand again, everything will work out. Liza had heard him on the phone when he was ordering for the flowers and she had thought the flowers were to wish Tom a quick recovery and to also cheer him up. But only Mike knew that the real reason he sent the beautiful bunch of flowers was to silently thank Tom for indirectly bringing them back together. By pointing out some home truths to Liza, he made her see what she should have known, ‘That Mike would always be there for her’. For that alone, it shows the guy had some redeeming trait

We all deserve genuine love… ****** For long moments, they looked into each other’s eyes with trusting eyes that suddenly turned passionate. Mike’s eyes flared with a knowing light and Liza gave an unconscious gasp. Mike grinned as he lightly pushed her to continue walking to the car! “You always seem to be surprised every time I make my love and passion obvious, why?” He had always wanted to ask her. “I don’t know, Mike. Maybe because I never truly believed you could really love me, so I am always surprised when I see the evidence of it.” She admitted softly. Mike did not say anything to that as he opened the door for her to go in. Then he circled the car to join her and only then did he turn to look at her. “But that’s bullshit, babe. I have been showing you nothing but my love since we started dating.” Mike reminded her. “I know, Mike, but I guess it was just hard for me to believe and understand. I mean, I grew up without knowing much love, so how would I have recognized i

Give an option of doubt…*****Putting the phone back into his pocket, Mike turned to go back to Liza and that was when he saw her, watching him with a dazed look.“You heard everything, right?” Tiredly, he asked her, unable to hide it again.Liza nodded slowly.“I am sorry, Liza, but it is not what you think. I can explain, okay?” Mike was worried she might misunderstand.Again, Liza nodded slowly.“I am sure you have a reasonable explanation Mike and I promise to listen without judging you.” Liza acknowledged softly.Relieved, Mike nodded as he walked to her.“Thank you. I promise to tell you everything without hiding a word.” He embraced her soft body to him, knowing that he needed the warmth.Liza accepted his words and actions with a smile as she returned his embrace.******The following morning, Liza and Mike walked out of the old building with Martha who was holding tightly to the purple eyed, immensely bruised Tom.His left eyes were almost closed and Liza feared he might nev

Be honest with your loved ones… ******* What happened the next moment was so sudden, Mike was sure he was about to have a heart failure. “Oh my God—Oh my God—-Oh my God.” Liza kept crying. Recovering himself, Mike quickly left his seat to hold onto her shoulders. “Liza? Are you okay? Talk to me.” He saw the distressful emotion she was in and he could not bear it. It’s a fact that whatever affected Liza would get to Mike. Her joy and sadness were equally part of him. “I totally forgot, Mike. I did not mean to, but I forgot. I am a bad person. A very bad evil lady.” She cried softly while holding onto him. “Whatever it is Liza, we will get through it together, but I will not accept any disparaging word on your person. You are not a bad person and neither are you evil. So right now, I want you to take a deep breath and tell me what this is all about.” A little bit calmed by Mike’s reasonable voice, Liza took a calming breath. “It’s Tom, Mike, I totally forgot about him.” Liza exp

Apologies don't make you less of a man… **** Helping each other to dress up four hours later after a short nap on his office sofa bed, Liza sent a smug smile across to Mike. “You need to apologise to your staff Mike, they did not deserve the treatments you have been melting out on them.” Liza pointed out and Mike groaned. He did not have to ask Liza, he should have known Stella would tell her all about it. “I am serious, Mike, you need to apologise. Just imagine if any of your staff is acting unprofessional just because they are going through a lot at home. Would you accept that, even if you try to be understanding towards their plight?” Liza demanded to know. “I am the boss, Liza, it is different.” He pointed out arrogantly, trying to cover up. but he knew she was right. ‘That’s the thing about Liza, she was always almost right.’ He thought fondly with another groan. “No Mike, there is nothing different about it. They are humans and if you are truly the man I know you to be, I

A forgiving spirit is a kind one…*******Typing furiously away at her system while equally muttering furiously to herself, Stella was not aware of the person at her desk until she heard a chuckle which made her jump in fright.“Is the building on fire or what?” Liza asked with an amused gaze while watching the different emotions flashing across the face of her former senior colleague.“Liza Stanford, you scared me.” Stella cried, turning her full glare on the innocent Liza.“Uh oh wow, take it easy with the glare okay? I’m innocent of whatever the crime was.” Chuckling, she raised her hands in mock surrender.Stella snorted, unimpressed.Innocent her foot! Whatever their boss was going through, Stella knew Liza had a hand in it and even if it’s not in Stella’s place to say it out loud, she just hoped they could settle whatever it was between them.Having been married for several years now, she knew it was not always smooth sailing between couples.Just look at her and her husband Leo

Correct your mistakes once you know it… ******At the other end, Liza kept staring at the silent phone in her hand. Mike had dropped the call. Without telling her it was a joke. Which meant that truly, he was pushing for a divorce? ‘No way! Over my dead body.’ She swore violently as she ran to the bathroom. Almost tearing off the clothes on her body, she hurriedly lathered the washing clothes with soap as she switched on the shower, full blast. Dressing with haste, five minutes later, Liza was walking down the stairs, smartly dressed in one of her office clothes. But before she could cover the last step, one of the maids walked in from the hallway to greet her respectfully. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanford.” “Good afternoon Mary. I am on my way out and I might not be back for a while.” She said in a distracted tone while checking her bag to make certain she had all she wanted. “Oh okay Madam, but I was just on my way upstairs to tell you there is a visitor at the door asking fo

A disappointed heart is always heavy…****Glaring fiercely at the door of his office, willing any of his staff to walk through the door so he could at least have an excuse to vent his frustrations, his eyes caught the favourite coffee mug on his table and picking it up, he threw it violently at the wall and the smashing sound gave him a momentary satisfaction.At that exact moment, the Head of Sales Department was on his way to discuss the latest marketing pitch with the boss after deciding to brave the lion’s then. Even his colleagues had teased him when he casually told them he was in to see the boss.There had been teasing calls about his head and they had all laughed, saying by the time Mike Stanford was done blasting him off, his considered small head would become bigger as it rolled on the floor. Someone had even said he was sure he would come out without his tongue in his mouth.Of course, he had scoffed disdainfully, not giving them the chance to see his fear.Only the Head o

The surprise package…*****Liza dismissed the maid and, turning with a determined step, she hurriedly walked to the door just as the person pressed the bell again. Liza groaned ferociously as she pulled the chain from the back of the door.“Who the hell are you that you want to bring down the whole house just to get what you want?” Liza blasted the person with furious eyes even before the door was completely open.The short bald man that was standing at the door blinked owlishly up at her, surprised by the unexpected attack.“I—I didn’t--hmm aha…” The man stopped coughing slightly but when he took a little glance up, he saw Liza was still furious, so he dropped his eyes to try again.“I—I’m—sorry madam. I was just trying to do my job.” He stammered in a voice that was a bit scared.Liza glared the more upon hearing this silly talk. “Excuse me? You mean your job is to disturb my peace?” “No—No—of—course not, madam. I was just trying to get the attention of whoever is in the house.” H
